One Special Day, an annual games industry fundraising and awareness campaign organised by the wonderful people at SpecialEffect, will be returning for its 6th edition on Friday 1 October 2021.
SpecialEffect is a UK-based charity that, through technology and innovation, ensures that people with physical disabilities are able to enjoy the video games we all know and love. You can find further information about their work and the difference it makes on their website.
We at Curve digital are extremely honoured to be able to be part of this initiative and are pledging to donate 25% of the revenue generated over the One Special Day event by the following games:
Today, we are pleased to announce that our most scientifically sophisticated level yet, Laboratory, has arrived in Human: Fall Flat. There’s no need to swot up on your scientific method though, the doors to this weird science lab have been thrown wide open. Come inside and experiment with powerful physics-based playthings. This Worldwide Workshop competition-winning experiment created by ‘Buler’ features all the advanced technology a boffin could dream of, even if those dreams include a nuclear reactor.
Grab up to seven of your most tech-savvy friends, master the majesty of magnetism and be enthralled by the exhilarating execution of electricity!
To celebrate Laboratory’s grand opening, not only can you save 60% on Human: Fall Flat right now on Steam, we’ve also updated the Human: Fall Flat Soundtrack with the beautiful Laboratory score taking the total number of tracks up to 20.
There are now 18 levels in Human: Fall Flat plus hundreds more in the Steam Workshop, and there’s still more to come. Keep up to date by following us on Twitter @HumanFallFlat, our Discord channel here, or watch the latest trailers on our YouTube channel here.
No Brakes Games and Curve Digital are delighted to be celebrating five years of the fun and quirky physics platformer Human: Fall Flat, as shipped copies of the game hit over 30 million.
The team is also excited to announce Human: Fall Flat’s newest level Laboratory, will be released this summer. Created by ‘Buler’ the winner of the Fantastic Machines Competition who won $10,000 for his fantastic level, Laboratory will allow players to run amok in a secret lab where the forces of physics become powerful playthings! Master the majesty of magnetism and the exhilarating application of electricity inside the mysterious mountain! Alongside the launch of the new Laboratory level, three new community designed skins will be available for players to jazz up their Humans - the Jester, Wrestler and Painter - which are the first of ten winners from the recent ‘Dress to Impress’ competition. The remaining seven winning skins will be released by the end of the year.
“We couldn’t be happier to reach this amazing milestone,” said Tomas Sakalauskas, CEO and Founder of No Brakes Games and Creator of Human: Fall Flat. “Five years ago Human Fall Flat first launched on PC with eight physics based puzzle levels, and now our game is available worldwide across PC, mobile and console platforms, includes 17 (soon to be 18!) exciting levels, and we’ve shipped over 30 million copies - we really can’t believe how far we’ve come. "
“I’d like to say a huge thank you to the amazing Human: Fall Flat community. I always wanted to make a game that inspires creators and players to build and explore new levels without any limitation and I am constantly surprised by the innovation that we see from the community each year. We look forward to many more years to come!”

We’ve recently announced that there are over 25 million Human: Fall Flat players worldwide and this is an amazing milestone we want to celebrate with you. As such, we wanted to give you a glimpse into the Human: Fall Flat journey so far and our exciting plans for 2021 and beyond.
We have been working on Human: Fall Flat with No Brakes Games since 2016. When it launched, Human: Fall Flat had nine levels for you to enjoy and was co-op enabled. Since then, alongside our development partners, we have introduced a whole host of new content, including Steam Workshop support, full multiplayer functionality for up to eight Humans, and seven new levels, many of which were handpicked by the community. We also released Human: Fall Flat on all platforms, where the game received the new levels for free as we will never charge for DLC.
To keep up with the amazing expansion of Human: Fall Flat and to be able to add more and more levels, lobbies and features, we have expanded our team and we now have more people than ever working on the game so we can make sure you experience the best possible version of Human: Fall Flat.
We’ve also invested in new technology as we look to the newer generation of consoles and we’re excited to say that we will be releasing Human: Fall Flat for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X very soon! (A free patch will also be available to those that own Human: Fall Flat on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to bring the game to the latest version on your new consoles.)
And that’s not all. We still have lots of plans for Human: Fall Flat including new level releases in 2021, additional community competitions, skins and more – all of this is coming to your game, at no additional cost. To start off, the level created in our Great Outdoors Steam Workshop competition, Forest, will be coming soon to PC and consoles.
We’re excited to see you solving puzzles with friends in the woodlands this summer and to give you a sneak peek into this new level release, you can watch the latest Human: Fall Flat trailer that features Forest:
We want to make sure that Human: Fall Flat is the game you keep coming back to, where you can enjoy and experience new levels and fun lobbies with your friends and loved ones, so we are excited to be able to show you more soon and we thank you for your understanding!
